It probably is the default for LTO4.  You can also view the capacity for
any tape after labeling with 'mminfo'.

No need to override the default unless you don't like 800G.  I often set
mine for a little more just because I did get some amount of consistent
compression.  So I'd set it at 1.5x or so.
